Hi, Just thought i'd say, this IS real (I filmed this video - The mac mini is a 1.5ghz G4 with 64MB Vram, its a late 2005 model) But don't bug or annoy me about it... Thanks...
None of this was public knowledge until the middle of last year when Amiga Inc submitted logs detailing the above in a court case against Hyperion, who were contracted to develop Amiga OS4.
Shortly before Christmas last year the files were leaked on the internet.
Andrea has condemned the release of the files saying that they had been stolen and that the guy who released it is a criminal.
If you're asking how OS4 runs on Mac Mini then here goes.
Some time in 2006 an Italian by the name of Andrea Vallinotto, who happens to be a member of the OS4 dev team, started work on porting Amiga OS4 to run on Mac Mini.
Towards the end of 2006 Andrea approached Bill Mcewen of Amiga Inc about getting a license to sell the Mac Mini version of Amiga OS4.
Eventually the talks fizzled out development of the Mac Mini version ceased.
Have you got got a USB PC keyboard and a mouse with more than one button available.
If these are correctly mapped you should be able to do a soft reset and get to the boot menu.
I'd have a go myself but I don't have a Mac Mini. I can confirm that the unlock_eject utility works on OS4 on the A1. So if you can get to a shell window you can eject the disk.

Needles to say this is pirated material.
